A Boston Girl and . New York


A Boston girl came over to New York.
She amused, herself very well for sew
eral days, among other pleasures in
Guiding the beautiful display of chry-
santhemums at Cosmopolitan hall. She
was delighted with it. The splendid
shocks of snowy and fiame-colored
blooms and the new japanese seedlings
that look as if nature had copied them
from decorations on Japanese Jars, and
the clean. fresh, curious perfumes.
filled her cultured soul so full Of sentl-
ment that it bubbled over for the bene-
ut of New York man. He came to
call soon after her return from the
tiower-show. He was a charming
young person who never by any acct
dent polluted his person with any article
whatsoever manufactured in this coun-
try. He was turned out complete from
top to toe in English goods, and his
gait on the avenue filled beholders with
the widest awe and delight; it so closely
copied the true thoroughbred style.
The important details of dress had occu-
pied his waking hours so closely that
he had found but little time to unbend
his mind over a book, and other mat
tiers even more important had escaped
his attention, among them the flower
show. which he happened not to have
heard of.
1--we just come from seeing the cnry-
santhemums, said the enthusiastic
young woman from Boston; .'and OH
it was such treat. l never enjoyed
anything SO much in my life. Have
you been YETI?
NO" he drawled. out aloud, think
ing to himself, what the deuce is the
girl talking about, anyhow" After

to the conclusion that, being a Boston
woman and addicted to literature, the
thing she had been to was something
partaking of an intellectual nature, and
probably science judging from the long
and unpronounceable name. So he re-
marked lightly that really he ''didn't
go much into that sort of thing now
it was out of his line, too deep entirely
for him.
The Boston girl stared. What do
you meanP Chrysanthemums too deepP"
"Well, you know" said the hapiess
youth. putting his foot deeper into his
mouth every time he opened it. ''that
one has to do such an awful lot Of read
ing to keep up with these scientific
things, and for my part never enjoy
them unless l am quite up on the sub
ject they're talking about" He felt be

question, and continued, with graceful
self-conidence, to add a few delicate
and artistic touches to his position.

that l can follow the speaker with in
telhgeut interest; but I'm too awfulIy

chrysanthemum, and all the rest of it. i"
The Boston girl gasped few times.
and then said she supposed that he
really must work awfully hard, and it
really was no end of pity he had had
to give up his studies. But before she
went back to Boston she told the story,
and the young man has gone out in the
country to stay some time with his sis
ter. The Boston girl says she thinks
New York men are delicious, simply
delicious. "-NeaO York World.
